Panel Presentation "Contemporary Manifestos and the Feminist Intimate Public Sphere"
At the 33rd Annual Conference of the Postgraduate Forum (PGF) of the German Association for American Studies (GAAS/DGfA) on the topic "Spaces of Affect in the Americas", Laura Handl presents on three contemporary manifestos: Legacy Russel’s Glitch Feminism (2020), Laboria Cuboniks’ The Xenofeminist Manifesto: A Politics for Alienation (2018) and Feminism for the 99 Percent: A Manifesto (2019) by Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya, and Nancy Fraser. The paper focusses on their aim of transforming the intimate public sphere of increasing mainstream feminism by a subtle shift in emphasis: the political is indeed personal.
